Maddison are Damien Maddison, Chris Dooley, Rick Mills, Mike Widdall and Jeremy Sims. The band was formed in the late nineties to complement the talented, and then solo, singer / songwriter Damien Maddison.

At the time Damien was well established on the local music circuit and had also enjoyed national exposure as a solo artist. Damien's material naturally leant itself to be taken and performed in the context of a group. The remaining band members had all worked together on previous projects prior to this and so Maddison was formed.

As well as taking Damien's original material, recording and performing it, Maddison continue to write as a band combining various influences to come up with melodic, thoughtful, guitar based tunes.
